Tickets are out now for The Hut People at Thornton Little Theatre

Published: Thursday, 08 September 2016

Ahead of their new album release in 2017, The Hut People have announced their UK wide tour including a date at Thornton Little Theatre.

Next year, on Saturday 4
March, British instrumental duo The Hut People will be taking audiences on a
musical journey around the world. Over the last three years they
have proved to be one of the most unique, entertaining and
best-loved acts on the UK folk scene.

Mixing global rhythms with folk tunes from Quebec to Spain, Scandinavia to
Sussex and everywhere in between, their tour is a quirky celebration of
their rich musical heritage – and it works so well! This is a show like
nothing you’ve ever seen before – expect feel-good dancing tunes, audience
participation, step dancing, Quebecois foot-percussion (whilst playing the
accordion!) and humour aplenty.

Accordionist Sam Pirt and
percussionist Gary Hammond both
have extensive backgrounds in music - having been part of and performed
alongside legendary acts such as The Beautiful South, Nina Simone, The
Dubliners and Sharon Shannon, and their playing is still very much in
high demand.
